Dems Find Their Wedge Issue And Aim To Force GOP Vote On Ryan Plan

House Democrats want to kick House Republicans where it hurts, and are exploring ways to force the minority party to take a stand on Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget “roadmap” that has become a political minefield in advance of this fall’s elections.

A Democratic leadership source told TPMDC they are considering options for putting the Ryan plan on the floor, forcing Republicans to vote for or against a plan they don’t want to talk about. This appears to be the Ryan bill, with seven GOP co-sponsors.
